The Riyadh Airports Company and the Royal Institute of Traditional Arts have inaugurated the “Our Heritage, Our Identity” mural at the King Khalid International Airport.

The mural highlights the pillars of various civilizations with 401 bricks that were made by the members of the delegations participating in the 45th session of the UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee, which was held in Riyadh in September.

The mural encompasses art from 25 countries and wishes to embody interdependence, and highlight heritage and civilization. By displaying it at the airport, visitors and passengers will be able to view contributions of traditional arts from so many countries in one place.

Also present in the mural are several traditional Saudi arts, including the Sadu, Taif, and Hasawi Bisht.

King Salman Academy, Indiana University Partner on Arabic Language Program

The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language (KSGAAL) and Indiana University have launched a specialized academic program as part of the academy's Arabic language teacher training project for non-native speakers.
KSGAAL Secretary-General Dr. Abdullah Al-Washmi said the program, running until April 8, builds on ongoing efforts to develop Arabic language education for non-native speakers.

He highlighted the academy's commitment to quality teaching and the use of standardized tests like Hamza, an Arabic language proficiency test.

He added that the partnership with Indiana University underscores KSGAAL's dedication to international academic exchange and best practices in the field.
The program focuses on enhancing teacher and learner competency, improving teaching quality, and advancing language assessment through modern educational standards.

Activities include an introduction to language tests, a specialized training course for Arabic teachers of non-native speakers, and a symposium on Saudi Arabia's efforts in this field, culminating in a practical application of the Hamza test.
